First few steps heavy in the morning?

Idk how to describe this but when I get out of bed in the morning, my first few steps feel heavy? My feet don’t hurt but it feels like I can feel each step / sensation more and then as I walk a few more steps my feet feel lighter.

It’s the oddest feeling. I’m not pregnant. Is this normal? Has this happened to anyone? Idk if I’m just paying extra attention to it. One year PP. no pain no visible swelling. Just heavy steps feeling

My little one has arrived 💕

My little May bundle of joy arrived yesterday safely via emergency section (was a planned section but ended up going into labour the night before).
She shares a birthday with her big brother who turned 19 yesterday 💙

Our hearts are full of love and we can’t wait to take her home later.

Labor Induction

FTM and i’m officially 41 weeks, I had my appointment today and they scheduled me for induction next week (totally understandable) Does anyone have anything that helped them go into labor naturally? I’ve been pumping, walking, bouncing, seems like everything and nothing is helping. I can’t help but feel defeated. I really wanted to avoid being induced :/

Would you have another baby after haemorrhaging during your last C section and your waters breaking at 30 weeks?

I have always wanted 3 children and am lucky enough to have 2. However during my last pregnancy my waters broke at 30’weeks, with me giving birth at 35 weeks via c section after some heavy bleeding. I also bled a lot during my C section as this was my second C section and almost had to have a blood transfusion.

Advice

Im nearly 20 weeks and I keep getting awful pains in my lower belly and back (similar to period pains) and sharp stabbing pains in my right side, my belly goes like a rock when this happens and is lasting around 10 minutes each time. Does anyone know what can help ease this and what it could be please? Iv tried lying down but it seems to help worse when I do.

Birthday planning

In the middle of planning my girl's party and I was just curious about what time others who are also planning parties for their littles are doing. I'm not sure what's considered okay? I'm thinking like 1pm cause my girl is up from 12:30-3:00 currently. But I don't want it to be inconvenient for other kiddos who we invite.
